Until A Dawning Appears Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

So many are caught up,
In the evils of disrespect.
Believing a benefit from this,
They will get.

So many perceive they protect themselves,
By betraying someone else...
With their deceptions kept,
As if treasured gold.

Only to find in time their minds have gone.
To become further away from truth,
They could have used instead of facing...
An onslaught of confusion and mental conflict.

And confusion and mental conflict to get,
As an investment made...
For participating in temporary wickedness,
Is not a life fulfilling to interpret as happiness.

So many are caught up,
In the evils of disrespect.
Believing a benefit from this,
They will get.

Until the Sun sets.
And a dawning appears clearly for them to view.
With all that is evil they have done to others too!
There is nothing like a guilt that visits,
In a mind one finds it has come to not undo.
It can not be chased away. It stays!
